1 Get up to 25% cash back on thousands of HealthyFood products About the HealthyFood benefit Discovery Vitality aims to make eating healthily easier with the HealthyFood benefit. You can get up to 25% cash back on a range of foods including vegetables, fruit, starchy foods, lean protein, fat-free dairy products, legumes and healthy fats and oils at Pick n Pay or Woolworths. These foods are selected to address high risk dietary practices that are associated with noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So, with the HealthyFood benefit you can enjoy a variety of HealthyFood items for better health and you ll get great savings too. The cash back you get depends on whether the main member and spouse (if applicable) have completed both health assessments. Who may use the benefit Vitality members 18 years and older can activate the benefit. When you activate the HealthyFood benefit, you agree that Discovery Vitality, Pick n Pay and Woolworths may share your payment and personal information to administer the benefit effectively. What you pay You do not pay any fees for the HealthyFood benefit apart from your monthly Vitality fee.

The Vitality Pick n Pay HealthyFood card is not a credit, debit or guarantee card. It may only be used for allocating cash back on purchases at the partner stores. Only one Vitality Pick n Pay HealthyFood card will be issued per family. These terms and conditions may change at any time. The card is and remains our property at all times.

4 Earn Vitality points You can earn 20 Vitality points for every HealthyFood item you buy at Pick n Pay or Woolworths. The How Healthy is your Basket tool will show you exactly how healthy your food choices are every month. We will deduct 20 points for every unhealthy item you buy. The least amount of points you can earn is zero. You can never have a negative points value in a month. HealthyFood purchases can earn you a maximum of Vitality points each month which adds up to Vitality points a year. Your cash back is based on your Vitality points and your spending The amount of the cash back is based on the number of Vitality points that you have, as well as the amount you spend at the partner stores. The starting point for working out your cash back is the number of Vitality points that you have. To work out how much cash back you can get, we apply your qualifying discount percentage to your HealthyFood spend in the month. The percentage is 10%, 15% or 25% depending on the health assessments you have completed. As a family, you get cash back on a maximum of R4 000 a month that you spend on HealthyFood. As a single member, you get cash back on a maximum of R2 000 a month that you spend on HealthyFood. Your HealthyFood spend that you get cash back on is also limited to the number of Vitality points you have for the year. Vitality cash back is calculated monthly. To get cash back for the entire period, you must still be eligible for the cash back on the calculation date. The percentage you qualify for over the cash back period is determined on the date of calculation and not the date of purchase.
